17 August 1995, Index number: MDE 12/016/1995

AI has learned that Dr Mahmoud Mubarak, a doctor aged 28, was arbitrarily arrested on 24 January 1995 by officers of the State Security Investigations Department. Nobody was informed of his arrest or his whereabouts until 14 July, when his family learned that he was in Istiqbal Tora Prison. AI is calling for his release unless he is to be charged with a recognizable crime.
